Writer Mark Boal extensively researched the film which centers on an elite Black Ops team's attempt to assassinate Osama bin Laden almost a decade ago, an effort that came very close to succeeding.
His death last year meant a few rewrites.
Ehle's role is unknown, Edgerton will play a Navy SEAL.
The duo join a cast that currently includes Edgerton's brother Joel, Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kyle Chandler, Edgar Ramirez, Tom Hardy, Chris Pratt, Guy Pearce and Mark Strong.
Boal, Bigelow and Megan Ellison are producing the film.
The pic has December 19th release date.
This film is not to be confused with John Stockwell's true bin Laden actioner Code Name Geronimo that's already filming.
